It puts food on your table so you don't fucking starve, you little unappreciative shit.

My kid seems to get the connection between my job and our accommodations, but they'd still rather I play with them.

They once introduced me to a teacher by saying "this is my dad. He likes working. And money!"

The (quite young, probably barely in her twenties) teacher considered this for a moment, then said "well... I guess my parents do, too."

You should explain to the little ones that your boss wants a certain amount of work every week, and if he doesn't get it, he'll get mad and won't give you any money at all

They get the idea. They can even explain it back to me (though they're as likely to say that the money is for toys as they are to say, for example, food).

They just know what they'd prefer over me working.
